Galatasaray hosts Antalyaspor in round 17 of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Saturday, December 28th at Türk Telekom Stadyumu (Istanbul)
Galatasaray ranks seventh with 24 points and a goal difference of 18:15. To score just 18 goals in 16 rounds is too little for a team with such ambitions. It is time to correct the situation with goal indicators and the position in the standings. Moreover, there are only four points to the Euro cup zone. There is something to fight for. In the previous five meetings, the top team won only once, and this minimal victory was gained over Alanyaspor. The other four games ended with two draws and two losses. In particular, the men of Terim lost to Goztepe in the last round (2:1). That defeat was fully deserved because the opponent created more dangerous attempts, although it possessed the ball less time.

Antalyaspor is the perfect rival for Galatasaray to finally breakthrough in the attack. This team fights for survival and is in 16th place with 14 points. It has conceded 28 goals this season, and this is the fourth-worst fixture in the league. In four of six matches against teams from the top eight, Antalyaspor conceded a minimum of two goals.
In four previous head-to-head meetings at this stadium, Galatasaray scored at least two goals. Given the current situation, it can be assumed that the hosts will attack a lot, and the defense of Antalyaspor is not at the level to restrain these attacks for all 90 minutes. In the last round, it conceded two goals from the team from the relegation zone. The team of Terim delivers 15 shots on goal per match, on average. It scored in each of four previous matches of the Turkish championship, and it is always more productive at home than away. Falcao has already recovered, and the skills of his partners - Babel, Bayram, Feghouli, Lemina, and Belhanda - will be enough to score two or more goals against the outsider.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to score over 2.0 goals
